To answer Bryant's question, the main reason I don't include poetry when I'm
studying grammar and syntax is because, in every language I've ever looked
at, poetry essentially makes its own rules and doesn't really "obey" general
rules of the language's grammar. It's just my own view, but poetry is not
the place to understand a language's syntax.
